Application filed salutar 31, 1907. serial Ho.'35d,971.

first :'to enable stand-pipes to satisfac torily deliver through the hydraulic main gas at relatively high temperatures, such for example as are attained where a group of retorts discharge through a single standentering the hydraulic main, thereby-condensing the thinner tars along with the heavier tars and enabling the former to give fluidity to the latter, reducing the abillty of the gas to carry oii water vapors which in their turn are conveyors that would ii present, carry the lighter tars from the hydraulic main, and avoiding the breaking of water seals; third :-to insure a sufiicient supply of fluid in the hydraulic main for floating off lamp-black on the surface; and fourth :-to provide simple, reliable and efiicient apparatus 'for eiiectua-tingthe above objects.

The invention comprises the improvements to be presently described and finally claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1, is an end view of so much of a gas apparatus as is necessary for understanding the invention. Fig. 2, is a view drawn to an enlarged scale showing in section a portion oi a bridgepipe and of the hydraulic main, and Fig. 3, is a front View of the sprayer or nozzle shown in Fig. 2.

In the drawings and bridge-pipes.

3, is the hydraulicunain oi pipe.

1, is a sprayer or nozzle arranged in the wall of the bridge-pipe and adapted to inject a pipe. As shown the sprayer or nozzle 4, is adapted to create a film-like jetthat extends across the bridge-pipe and covers its crossl and 2, are the stand jet of cooling fluid into the bridge-- sectional area insuring contact of the gas with the water. The jet may advantageously be so arranged that a part of it reaches or plays upon the most of the inner surface of the bridge-pipe and thus prevents the deposit of lamp-black and avoids the necessity for cleaning. The character and design of the sprayer or nozzle are susceptible of variations and change. However, the nozzle should discharge into either the standpipe or bridge-pipe, or the hydraulic main, in such manner that its jet reaches the hy draulic main and does not run down the stand-pipe. In the drawings the nozzles are shown as arranged in three locations, but in most cases a nozzle in any one of these 'loca tionsis suilicient. I

5, is an adjustable overflowfitted with the usual seal 6, and adapted to convey am-.

inoniacal liquid from the hydraulic main to i the receptacle or well 8.- 7, is a filter or lamp-black separator. From the receptacle 8, this liquid is taken by means of a pump 9 and passed through the cooler 10, from which it is piped as by pipes 11, to the sprayeis or nozzles 4, of the stand-pipes. The cooler 10, is shown to consist ofa piece of apparatus commonly called a condenger.

Cold water circulates by the pipes 13 and in doing so cools the ammoniacal liquor.

12, is an overflow for takin away the excess of arnmoniacal liquid which accumulates from the gas entering the hydraulic main and which, since it may be made to circulate is not unduly weakened.

The gas in its passage to the hydraulic main-is cooled by the jet" of water or ammoniacal liquid which it encounters with the result that the objects stated in the be inning of this specification are accomj" plished as well as other objects, which will be apparent to th0se.skilled in the art.

I claim:

1. The combination with coal gas apparatus having stand and bridge and hydraulic pipes of a sprayer nozzle mounted in and projecting substantially flush with the inner surface of said pipes and adapted to inject a film jet of cooling fluid in such direction that it reaches the hydraulic main and said pumping, filtering and cooling means, subnozzle accessible from the exterior for cleansLa ntially as described. 10

ing, substantialiyas described. 7 In testimony whereof I have hereunto 2. The combination of the stand and signed my name. bridge-pipes and hydraulic main nozzles or JOHN HAWLEY TAUSSIG.

Sprayers for injecting a jet of fluid, and de- \Vitnesses: vices for conveying fluid from the hydraulic H. K. JAMES, main to the nozzles or Sprayers including K. M. QILLIGAN.
